    Dear Ms. Dixon,

    I just watched A Reckoning in Boston and was very glad that I did. Thank you and your collaborators so much. It left me profoundly impressed and with much to think about.

    I also wanted to share an opportunity in case you haven’t seen it. I don’t know the group, but the invitation was shared on a discussion list I subscribe to and I immediately thought of you:
    https://www.castaneafellowship.org/about/job-opportunities/

    The Castanea Fellowship is a fellowship for established leaders working at the intersections of food, health, environment, agriculture, regional economies, and community development.

    Castanea Fellows are building power and shifting cultures and institutions towards a more healthy, equitable, and sustainable food system. We provide them the time, space, skills, and resources they need to connect and innovate on long term solutions to foster vibrant communities. The core values that drive Castanea Fellowship are racial equity, diversity, and impact. Learn more about who we are and what we do.

    We believe that the current dominating national food system disproportionately hurts the most marginalized people in society — including people of color, people from working class backgrounds, women, and LGBTQ people. We believe that these communities must be centered in the work we do. Hence, we strongly encourage proposals from people with these identities or who are members of other marginalized communities.

    1. Thanks Eric, Sorry for a late response. I am not familiar with the Castanea Fellows but will look into it. I have a great network with people like the Castanea Fellows and i think it is important to share and to collaborate. I may not have time to expand my collaboration network much more than I do today but I am always interested to follow up and listen to new options.
      Best
